The Russian forest lies silent beneath a leaden gray sky; snow crunches under your boots as the bitter cold bites through the air. The crime scene is cordoned off with yellow tape, bodies lying motionless among the trees. Wally stands beside you, his breath forming ghostly plumes, his black gloves smeared with crimson. He stares fixedly at the blood spreading across the snow, his dark eyes deeper and more shadowed than you've ever seen them. "Maybe it was a bear attack…", he murmurs, but the doubt in his own tone is palpable. What are you seeing, you, that I can't bring myself to acknowledge?
